Exclusive ski-in ski-out, swim-in swim-out chalet.

Enter through the original 17th century doorway flanked by hand-carved stone panels into a snow-white hall of natural book-leaf marble warmed by a ceiling height fireplace.

On the other side of the dual-face fireplace awaits the living room. An impressive set of hammered iron ancient doors leads into a comfortable living room generously decorated with furs and touches of East and West all elements referencing mountain history. On one wall, a chain motif favoured by the ancient Royal family of Savoie is carved in light relief on marble while from the other side of the world, intricately painted antique Tibetan doors are integrated into the scene.

Classic cocktails or specials with an eastern touch are ready to be served at any time along with a choice of champagne, wine or something warm and wicked.

A hidden Home Cinema system with a giant drop-down HD screen with SKY HD access transforms the living room into your own private movie-theatre or sports arena.

Folding doors with exquisite engraved marble panels open into a chandeliered dining room with hand-carved dining table and chairs, upholstered with luxury designer shearling fur. The dining room can be curtained off from the James-Bond style red-marble pool which is kept out-of-sight underfloor. With the curtains open, the view of the slopes in daylight is enticing and at night, simply magical. The pool can convert into a softly lit water feature, over which starry lights twinkle and reflect in the water, while stars do their bit in the sky outside over the shimmering snow.

There are four suites in Chalet Toit du Monde to sleep up to 8 guests. All bedrooms can accommodate twin or double beds. There is also the option to welcome additional guests upon request in the Grand Suites. All bedroom suites are underfloor heated with independent controls, and include separate sleeping and relaxation areas.

The floor is of Elmwood and the walls are decorated with beautiful back-lit carved wood panels. The exquisitely comfortable hand-made hardwood king size (or twin) beds are enhanced with antique carvings which frame the bevelled mirror features, artfully concealing discreet reading lamps when not in use.

Relax your muscles in the sauna then step next door into a world of tranquility for your spa treatment. A wall of natural candles create a hypnotic glow in the room which is cocooned in a rich covering of gold metal and marble dust-infused paint. The chalet is equipped with a Sauna made of Russian fir, in addition to the steam-rooms in all the bedrooms. Partly indoor and partly outdoor, the Pool is a ‘James Bond’ feature, the hidden red marble pool with sophisticated underwater lighting is revealed by a secret moving floor device. Pool depth can be adjusted to suit guest’s requirements (ideal for children) Water temperature is maintained at 33 degrees centigrade. The pool includes a wave machine for exercise minded guests and a Jacuzzi facility in the outdoor section of the pool for relaxation.

The Pool is available for use at any time but the outdoor section is open until midnight only each day. Swimming in the outdoor section is as close as is possible to swimming on the piste. Privacy is accorded by stone walls and the naked piste on one side of the pool.

Indoor, twinkling overhead lights mirror the stars over the outdoor section.

The Cigar Room made of glass and red marble is furnished with deep-red leather and walls to resemble a jewelbox humidor. Sink into the soft seats and ask your host to light up your cigar and offer you a choice of drinks. The room comes complete with humidifier, extractor, and arguably the best seats in the house with undisturbed views of the mountains. Nothing between you and nature except glass to keep you warm.

A dedicated ski room provides a boot cupboard with individual boot heaters; and all the ‘little things’ that make a day’s ski perfect – suntan lotion, munchies, ski-map, bottled water, lip balm. Staff on hand to help get those boots off!

Toit du Monde has been welcoming Chalet Owners guests since 2014.
